You need to review the terms of the particular trust in order to determine what the trustee can and cannot do. A trustee has only the powers set forth in the trust document. Generally, a trustee should bot take money from the trust for his/her own use.

If there is (1) more than one trustee; and, (2) the trustee-beneficiary cannot act as trustee unilaterally; and (3) the other trustee is not a beneficiary of the trust, yes. If the the trustee is also designated the beneficiary, the trust fails as illusory.
No, a blind trust and an irrevocable trust are not the same. A blind trust is a specific type of trust where the trustee manages the assets without the beneficiary's knowledge of the holdings or transactions, often used to avoid conflicts of interest. An irrevocable trust, on the other hand, is a trust that cannot be altered or revoked by the grantor once established, meaning that the assets are permanently transferred out of the grantor's control. While a blind trust can be irrevocable, not all irrevocable trusts are blind.
They most certainly may not! The entire purpose of the trust is to prevent the beneficiary from controlling the trust. The responsibility lies with the trustee to maintain the trust as it was set up. Actually, it depends on what kind of a trust is involved. For example, a Land Trust is beneficiary driven....meaning the beneficiary tells the Trustee what to do by letter of direction. Most all other types of trusts are Trustee driven and decisions are made by the Trustee. Randy Hughes
Irrevocable means exactly that. The Beneficiaries might be able to remove the trustee if there is malfeasance, misfeasance, incompetence, negligence, fiduciary mismanagement, etc. This is a very difficult task to prove
The trustee has only the powers set forth in the document that created the trust. You must review that document for your answer.
You need to review the terms of the trust to determine how a new trustee must/can be appointed. A beneficiary/trustee invalidates a trust in many jurisdictions and may make the trust property vulnerable to creditors. You should contact the attorney who drafted the trust.
Your phrasing is difficult to understand. The only power a trustee has is set forth in the trust instrument. If a beneficiary is supposed to receive 40% of the trust assets then, of course, you cannot take their portion and donate it. You should read the trust document to refresh yourself on the purpose of the trust and your obligations as trustee. You cannot steal, or misuse the assets. You cannot do anything with the trust property that's not stated in the trust. You have liability for any wasting of the trust assets.
If I am the beneficiary of a revocable living trust which is specific and only has one house in it can I assign my beneficiary rights to some one else? Also can I draw a note between myself and the person whom I am assigning the note to for the sales price and record a trust deed against the note. I live in Utah. I other words I am selling or assigning the trust which owns the house. The trustee will remain the same, only the beneficiary will change.
It depends on the specific circumstances and the applicable laws in the jurisdiction. In some cases, the beneficiary may have a limited time frame to bring a legal action against a trustee, while in other cases the time limit may be longer or shorter than 3 years. It is advisable for the beneficiary to consult with a legal professional to understand their rights and options.
It is considered perjury and you will be in contempt of court. There are fines and other penalties for contempt of court.
You need to review the trust document for the answer to your question. It should contain a provision for distribution of the share of a deceased beneficiary. If the trustee has died a new trustee needs to be appointed to make the distribution. The trust document should also have provisions for the appointment of a successor trustee.
what are my rights as a trust beneficiary? Possibilities; Note that a trust can be otherwise impossible to break (especially spendtrhift). 1. if trust purprose is no longer valid. 2. judicial order for cause. 3. spendthrift - prove to trustee that you can handle $$. 4. spendthirft - when & If you have more $$ or asssets than the spendtrhift 5. Lump sum or other distributions that get the trust down to unmanageable low levels thereby making the trust invalid or too expensive to manage.
